9 points off safety now

If we can get even so much as 4 points from the next 3 games then we'll be on 35 points going into March

We just need to beat two of Brighton, Newcastle or Southampton at home to confirm it. If we can do well in those games whilst also getting something away at Huddersfield, Stoke and West Ham then we should be fine

The way I see it, if we can win at least two of those six games then we should be safe

40 points should hopefully be enough this season I reckon. If we get to 40 by, say, March, the pressure is off for April and May then, at which point we can focus on trying to finish as high as possible

Ultimately, we're not safe until we're safe, and we need to keep thinking that until its beyond doubt. The players nor the supporters can afford to get complacent. We're only 8 points off the relegation zone. We just need to lose a couple of games to be in a precarious situation

If we play like we did against Leicester, then we should be able to beat the weaker sides at home. It's just about maintaining that level of performance. Against the better sides we'll still struggle IMO because the left and right sides are completely unbalanced

People are still thinking about relegation as a possibility?
 

Two defeats, whilst others pick up points, and then things get a tad more precarious, especially if one of those defeats is to Watford or Palace
That's true. But they only stay precarious if we lose the next one and a bunch of other really bad teams do well. And that's true the next week, too. There's just too many teams below us. We would have to go into an epic swoon the likes of which the club has probably never seen, like 4 points out of 10 games, that kind of thing.

The fixtures this weekend could be a help a few of the lower sides play each other and a couple are playing top 4 sides (although for some odd reason the rs and Arsenal forgot the script at Swansea)
 
Coleman storming back and the signing of Walcott has given me some optimism for a top 10 finish.

We have actually quality on the right hand side again.
